I yield myself 2 minutes. Mr. Speaker. Congress has repeatedly and explicitly passed laws delegating enforcement authority to the executive branch in the immigration context. Through DAPA and the expansion of DACA. the Secretary of Homeland Security is simply enforcing these existing laws that have previously been passed. Do you know what. Mr. Speaker? Words matter. In talking about the families. like Ms. Garcias from my district. we really know that. especially during a campaign season or when there is rhetoric on the floor. the words that those of us in elected office say matter. I found that out firsthand as I talked to some of the families in my district who have mixed status children who turn on to VTV and see some of our national politicians rail against them.
